Bradley Cooper opens up about his drug abuse

Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper has opened up about how his past addictions “hindered” his work.

The 39-year-old actor admitted in an interview that his alcohol and drug dependency didn’t let him ‘fulfill his potential’.

“I think work was getting f***ed up. In the way that if the one thing that I’ve learned in life is the best thing I can do is embrace who I am and then do that to the fullest extent, and then whatever happens, happens,” the ‘Hangover’ star told media.

“The more steps I do to not do that, the farther I am away from fulfilling any potential I would have. So the answer to that question, then, is: Yes, of course it hindered the work.”

Cooper feels his past struggles will always reflect in his work because he relies on life experience when working.
